Hurricane Dorian Sweeps Across the Atlantic, September 26th, 2019
This image shows a mass of white clouds swirling over a series of islands in the Atlantic. Obtained from NOAA, the storm pictured is Hurricane Dorian as a tropical storm wreaking havoc across the Bahamas, whose tropical blue waters look serene from above the storm. The outlines of the land masses have been highlighted in white, so audiences can identify where in the Atlantic the storm is, and therefore glean some information about where it could be headed next. The magnitude of the storm can also be understood be comparing it to the relative size of the land masses, which most people are generally familiar with.
